The 'How It Is' resource has been developed by the NSPCC and Triangle. It includes images designed specifically for disabled children to express their concerns about abuse. Research has suggested that disabled children are more than three times more likely to suffer from abuse or neglect than the non-disabled.
The vocabulary consists of 384 images, with around half developed especially for the 'How It Is' project by a symbol designer, and then tested on children and young people aged between 20 months and 20 years from a range of experiences, ethnic backgrounds and abilities. They were also tested with parents, carers and experienced professionals.
